Toby Amies takes us on a road trip from Houston to Austin looking at the art of the Lone Star State, and reflecting on themes such as Americana, the romance of the western and Texas as a vast drive-through art gallery

Texas's vast and spectacular landscape is dotted with more than 100 national and state parks – and they're not all desert. Here's our pick of 10 varied parks, from the Lone Star state's own 'Grand Canyon' to historic sites, a forest and an urban oasis

Texas is a mix of the old (west) and the new - from hip bands at the SXSW festival in Austin to traditional cowboy boots that are made to measure, and smokin' barbecue joints that give you a flavour of the state. Photographer Sarah Lim, currently on the road with the Guardian's Katie Rogers, gives her personal take on the Lone Star state
